Defensive answers for the Orlando Magic continue to elude them
The Orlando Magic’s once-vaunted defense is faltering of late and the team is suffering through its worst stretch as they try to find some answers.
The Orlando Magic would see the same play run on the first possession of the game. The Dallas Mavericks were putting a little bit of a stress test on the defense to see just how the Magic would cover them.
Luka Doncic grabbed a screen from Kristaps Porzingis and headed toward the rim. Nikola Vucevic dutifully dropped while Aaron Gordon scrambled around to get back in front. He did but Doncic still had the upper hand — he always has the upper hand.
